National Coffee Cake Day - Coffee Cake Retrospective

From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...Left to my own devices, I'd be late for the second coming. I guarantee that I wouldn't be featuring coffee cakes on National Coffee Cake Day if someone else hadn't provided memory cues and prodded me along. Last year I bumbled my way into two sites that were as interesting as they were original. One was called Tasteful Inventions and the other was called Month's of Edible Celebrations. One site looks at the who and what of food creation and invention and the other is a fascinating compilation of dates and related recipes for food lovers who like to have others do research for them. That would be me. Louise, the creative force behind those blogs, spread the word that April 7th was National Coffee Cake Day. So, here we are. Easter is coming and I suspect you're starting to put menus together for the holiday. I'll be posting new recipes for coffee cakes for the remainder of the week, but I thought I'd get started with a retrospective of what's come before. I hope you find something of interest in the recipes that follow. Clicking on the name of the coffee cake will take you to the recipe for it.

Well, I have never seen you post so early in the evening! What a cool assortment of coffee cakes. The Belgian one doesn't even look like a coffee cake, more like bread. The "Real" coffee cake doesn't look like what I think of as coffee cake at all. All I know is, it's 10:30 P.M. and I want some cake and coffee before bed. Good thing I have lots of decaf!! But I will have to settle for a leftover half slice of chocolate mint cake from the grocery bakery.

I remember the first time I found out about coffee cake in the US; I was living in California and saw them on sale at the superarkets. Made some since, and I really love the idea of a coffee cake. Especially if it is homemade.

There is just something about coffee cake that makes me want it. Im not going to lie, its mostly when I am staring it down in the starbucks line (guilty pleasure!) Those all look delightful. I cant wait to try one!!!

Mary...thanks for sharing so many coffee flavored cakes...you have got the best there...salivating now. Have KIV them and hopefully I get to make them soon :)Happy" National Coffee Cake Day" to all :) love them all and have a great day !

They all look wonderful. I remember when the mothers in my neighborhood would have coffee together and there would be a coffee cake. Then everyone went back to work. Now that I have a tea break every afternoon, I may have to just have a little sweet with it. Nice.

Here I sit, having my morning coffee and enjoying a few blog and come to visit you...thanks for the coffee cake with my coffee!So now I'll visit this week with coffee in hand to get some wonderful recipes for your cakes that goes with my coffee. You don't mind if I lick the screen just a little, do you? I just can't resist coffee cake!!!!xo Yvonne

D'oh, I missed National Coffee Cake day! Thanks for sharing the Months of Edible Celebrations blog; I feel like you do, that it's just easier to let someone else tell me what's going on this month in food. ^_^

I've never made a coffee cake. Shhh. It's a secret. Admit to being enticed by the "real" coffee cake with "real" coffee. But that berry-cream cheese one - it's a version of my beloved cream cheese danish that does not exist in MN.

Hi Mary! I love the crust on the Poem Koe, looks somewhat dignified to me. I know that's a weird way to describe a cake, but that's the first thing that came to my mind when i first saw it! very dignified indeed!

It's been ages since I made coffee cake. I made your cinnamon swirl coffee cake, and have yet to post it (let's see, that was a few months ago). What a great roundup. Let's see, I'll take one of each. Yummy!

Yeah, I remember all those delicious bake that you've been working on long ago. And you just reminded me the coffee cake. Time just flies isn't it! Looking forward for more from you, Mary. It's been wonderful to have you around all these while. Hope you're enjoying your weekend.Blessings, Kristy
